However, typically fudge is made using a combination of artificial ingredients, tons of white sugars, and corn syrup – certainly not aligning with a paleo diet.
Although luckily for you, some of the best paleo sweet ingredients, including cacao, nut butter, and coconut oil contain all the properties necessary to make some delicious melt-in-the-mouth, chewy fudge – it is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth!
With this in mind, we have gathered 15 of the most delicious paleo fudge recipes that you’re sure to love (see also “Delicious Paleo Ice Cream Recipes“).
These little balls of deliciousness are made using dates, hazelnuts, cacao powder, cacao butter, maple syrup, chopped dark chocolate, and vanilla extract.
Here, maple syrup is optional. Therefore, before adding it, make sure your bites are sweet enough. That said, these bites are super simple to just throw in your mouth.
You can’t go wrong with the combination of chocolate and hazelnuts. Lots of people feel the same. In fact, it is probably why Nutella is one of the most popular spreads in the world.
That said, these bites of goodness taste nothing like Nutella – they are even better!

Hi, my name is Justin Roberts and I like to live by one major rule in life – health is wealth. And where does all health stem from? The food choices we make.
I grew up in a not-so-wealthy household that often struggled to get food on the table.
The food we did eat was cheap, holding no nutritional value at all. I’m talking frozen foods, carbs, fats, and very little fresh produce.
I am fortunate enough to have made a life for myself where the money for food is no longer an issue, and I have spent the majority of it looking into healthy foods and different diets to try.
The most notable is keto and paleo. I am also interested in only using whole foods wherever possible – call it trauma!
As a professional chef, I now create recipes surrounding these diets every day. My family are my tasters, and I strive to make my recipes as budget-friendly as possible.
I hope that you’ll find some inspiration for healthier meals from my website. I want to create a catalog of recipes that you can come back to time and time again. Enjoy!
